Abstract

This research aims at transforming the definition tort of an English-English-Korean Dictionary (EEKD) which is encoded in EST files for the purpose of publishing into a structured format for Lexical Data Base (LDB). The construction of LDB is very time-consuming and expensive work. In order to save time and efforts in building new lexical information, the present study tries to extract useful linguistic information from an existing printed dictionary. In this paper, the process of extraction and structuring of lexical information from a printed dictionary (EEKD) as a lexical resource is described. The extracted information is represented in XML format, which can be transformed into another representation for different application requirements.
